NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (TCI, We,
The Company, Our or Us) is a Nevada corporation and invests in real estate through direct ownership, leases and partnerships.

The Company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and its common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TCI. American Realty Investors, Inc. owns approximately 82 percent of the Companys common stock
(NYSE: ARL). Prime Income Asset Management, LLC (Prime) is the Companys external advisor. Regis Realty I, LLC, an affiliate of Prime, manages the Companys commercial properties. Regis Hotel I, LLC, another Prime affiliate,
manages the Companys hotel investments. TCI engages four third-party companies to lease and manage its apartment properties.

Properties

The company owned or had interests in a total property portfolio of 68 and 89 properties as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. The commercial properties aggregate approximately 4.7 million and 4.8 million net rentable square feet as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. At March 31, 2008 the properties consisted of:



| |  |  | 22 commercial buildings, which consists of 13 office buildings, 6 commercial warehouses, and 3 retail centers
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 46 apartment communities
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | 6,097 acres of developed and undeveloped land.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

The
Company is involved in the construction of 19 apartment development projects as of March 31, 2008. In addition, the Company invests in numerous tracts of land and is at several stages of predevelopment on many of these properties. The Company
partners with various third-party developers to construct residential projects. The third-party developer typically takes a general partner interest in the development partnership while the Company takes a limited partner (and majority) interest.
The Company is required to fund all equity contributions. The third-party developer is responsible for obtaining financing, hiring a general contractor and for the overall management and delivery of the project, and is compensated with a fee equal
to a certain percentage of the construction costs.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
they do not include all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial statements for these periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. The year end
consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Companys financial statement and notes thereto contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Newly issued accounting standards.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (SFAS 141R), Business Combinations.SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a
business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill
acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in will be recorded and disclosed following existing accounting principles until January 1, 2009. The Company expects
SFAS 141R will affect the Companys consolidated financial statements when effective, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, term and size of the acquisitions, if any, the Company consummates after the
effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified
as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, and will impact the recording of minority interest. The Company is currently evaluating the
effects the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In connection with the purchase of Woodmont TCI land in Dallas, Texas on January 15, 2008, we partially
financed the acquisition with a new mortgage loan of $4.1 million collateralized by the land property purchased. The note accrues interest at the higher of prime plus 1% or 7.5%. The note is payable in monthly installments of interest only with the
balance due along with all unpaid and accrued interest due at maturity on July 25, 2009.

NOTE 8. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Companys segments are based on the Companys method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by property type. The Companys segments are
commercial, apartments, hotels and land. Significant differences among the accounting policies of the operating segments as compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements principally involve the calculation and allocation of administrative
expenses. Management evaluates the performance of each of the operating segments and allocates resources to them based on their operating income and cash flow.

Presented below are the Companys reportable segments operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, including segment assets and expenditures:

NOTE 9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale
be measured at the lesser of (1) book value or (2) fair value less cost to sell. In addition, it requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued
operations to include more disposal transactions.

The following table summarizes income from discontinued operations (net of minority interest) and the
related realized gains on sales of real estate from discontinued operations.

The Companys application of SFAS No. 144 results in the presentation of the net operating
results of these qualifying properties sold or held for sale during 2008 as income from discontinued operations. The application of SFAS No. 144 does not have an impact on net income available to common shareholders. SFAS No. 144 only
impacts the presentation of these properties within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Partnership Obligations. TCI is the limited partner in 10 partnerships that are currently constructing residential properties. As permitted
in the respective partnership agreements, TCI intends to purchase the interests of the general and any other limited partners in these partnerships subsequent to the completion of these projects. The amounts paid to buy out the nonaffiliated
partners are limited to development fees earned by the non-affiliated partners, and are set forth in the respective partnership agreements.

Liquidity. Management believes that TCI will generate excess cash from property operations; such excess, however, will not be sufficient to discharge all of TCIs obligations as they become due. Management intends to sell
income producing assets, refinance real estate, and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet its liquidity requirements.

Litigation.TCI is involved in various other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of these lawsuits will have no material impact on TCIs financial condition, results
of operations or liquidity.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 2 2008, we acquired the Bridgewood Ranch apartments, a 106 unit complex located in Kaufman, Texas for $7.6 million. We financed the purchase with a new mortgage, secured by the property of $5.1 million, cash of $1.1 million,
and $800,000 in liabilities. The mortgage accrues interest at the higher of 6.75% or prime plus .25% and matures in January of 2019.

On April 16,
2008, we acquired the Quail Hollow apartments, a 200 unit complex located in Holland, Ohio, for $14.1 million. We financed the purchase with a new mortgage, secured by the property of $11.5 million, cash of $77,000, and $2.6 million in liabilities.
The mortgage accrues interest at 7% and matures in October 2011.

might, plan, estimate, project, should, will, result and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our
control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that, while forward-looking
statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made,
to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:



| |  |  | general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants financial
condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain
necessary permits and public opposition to such activities);

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report, including Part I, Item IBusinessRisk Factors, include additional
factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all
such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and

Overview

TCI is an externally advised and managed real estate investment company that owns a diverse portfolio of income-producing
properties and land held for development. The Companys portfolio of income-producing properties includes residential apartment communities, office buildings, hotels and other commercial properties. TCIs investment strategy includes
acquiring existing income-producing properties as well as developing new properties on land already owned or acquired for a specific development project. TCI acquires land primarily in in-fill locations or high-growth suburban markets. TCI is an
active buyer and seller and during 2007 acquired over $12 million and sold over $153 million of land and income-producing properties.

##### Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2008, the Company owned approximately 9,100 units in 46 residential apartment communities and 22
commercial properties of approximately 4.7 million rentable square feet. In addition, at March 31, 2008, TCI owned over 6,000 acres of land held for development and 19 projects under construction. The Company currently owns
income-producing properties and land in 15 states as well as in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

We finance our acquisitions primarily through operating cash
flow, proceeds from the sale of land and income-producing properties and debt financing primarily in the form of property-specific first-lien mortgage loans from commercial banks and institutional lenders. We financed our development projects
principally with short-term, variable interest rate construction loans that are converted to long-term, fixed rate amortizing mortgages when the development project is completed and occupancy has been stabilized. The Company will, from time to time,
also enter into partnerships with various investors to acquire income-producing properties or land and to sell interests in certain of its wholly owned properties. When the Company sells assets, it may carry a portion of the sales price generally in
the form of a short-term, interest bearing seller-financed note receivable. The Company generates operating revenues primarily by leasing apartment units to residents; leasing office, retail and industrial space to commercial tenants; and renting
hotel rooms to guests. TCI is advised by Prime under a contractual arrangement that is reviewed annually by TCIs Board of Directors. TCIs commercial properties are managed by Regis Commercial while the Companys hotels are managed
by Regis Hotel. TCI currently contracts with five third-party companies to manage the Companys apartment communities. Approximately 82% of TCIs common stock is owned by ARI. TCI is a C Corporation for U.S. federal income tax
purposes and files an annual consolidated income tax return with ARI. TCI does not qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes primarily due to ARIs majority ownership of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different,
it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to
be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application
or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Real Estate

Upon acquisitions of real estate, TCI assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, including land, buildings, tenant improvements, above-market and below-market leases,
origination costs, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and allocates
the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including land at appraised value and buildings at replacement cost.

We assess and
consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates, as well as available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the
historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. We also consider an allocation of
purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including (but not limited to) the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the
tenants credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. Based on our acquisitions to date, our allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has been immaterial.

We record acquired above-market and below-market leases at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between
(1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) managements estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for
above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.

Other intangible assets
acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenants lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up
periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected
lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

##### Table of Contents

Real estate is stated at depreciated cost. The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of
property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to the development of properties are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, property taxes, insurance, and other project costs incurred during the period
of development.

Management reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that
indicates an impairment in value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of its assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If such impairment is present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the
carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from
actual results in future periods. If we determine that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their face value.

SFAS No. 144
requires that qualifying assets and liabilities and the results of operations that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as held for sale, be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented if the property operations are
expected to be eliminated and the Company will not have significant continuing involvement following the sale. The components of the propertys net income that is reflected as discontinued operations include the net gain (or loss) upon the
disposition of the property held for sale, operating results, depreciation and interest expense (if the property is subject to a secured loan). We generally consider assets to be held for sale when the transaction has been approved by
our Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale, such that the property sale within one year is considered probable. Following the classification of a property as held for
sale, no further depreciation is recorded on the assets.

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties.
After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of
judgment. Our capitalization policy on development properties is guided by SFAS No. 34 Capitalization of Interest Cost and SFAS No. 67 Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate
Properties. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs,
interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates
of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs
associated with the portion under construction.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

Except for ownership interests in variable interest entities, TCI accounts for our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures under the equity method of
accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity
in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on the Companys balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings of
unconsolidated real estate ventures over the life of the related asset. Under the equity method of accounting, TCIs net equity is reflected within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is
included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture agreements may designate different percentage allocations among investors for profits and losses; however, TCIs recognition of joint venture income or loss generally
follows the joint ventures distribution priorities, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds. For ownership interests in variable interest entities, the Company consolidates those in which we are the
primary beneficiary.

Recognition of Rental Income

Rental income for commercial property leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. In accordance with SFAS 141, we recognize rental revenue of acquired in-place above-market and
below-market leases at their fair values over the terms of the respective leases. On our Consolidated Balance Sheets we include as a receivable the excess of rental income recognized over rental payments actually received pursuant to the
terms of the individual commercial lease agreements.

Reimbursements of operating costs, as allowed under most of our commercial tenant leases, consist of
amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the recoverable expenses are incurred. We record these reimbursements on a gross
basis, since we generally are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.

##### Table of Contents

Rental income for residential property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as earned,
which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis as lease terms are generally for periods of one year or less.

For hotel properties,
revenues for room sales and guest services are recognized as rooms are occupied and services are rendered.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded
for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.

Revenue Recognition on the Sale of Real Estate

Sales of real estate are recognized when and to the extent permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, Accounting for Sales
of Real Estate (SFAS No. 66), as amended by SFAS No. 144. Until the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for full profit recognition have been met, transactions are accounted for using the deposit, installment, cost recovery
or financing method, whichever is appropriate. When TCI provides seller financing, gain is not recognized at the time of sale unless the buyers initial investment and continuing investment are deemed to be adequate as determined by SFAS 66
guidelines.

Non-performing Notes Receivable

TCI considers a note receivable to be non-performing when the maturity date has passed without principal repayment and the borrower is not making interest payments. Any new note receivable that results from a modification or extension of a
note considered non-performing will also be considered non-performing, without regard to the borrowers adherence to payment terms.

Interest
Recognition on Notes Receivable

Interest income is not recognized on notes receivable that have been delinquent for 60 days or more. In addition,
accrued but unpaid interest income is only recognized to the extent that the net realizable value of the underlying collateral exceeds the carrying value of the receivable.

Allowance for Estimated Losses

A valuation allowance is provided for estimated losses on notes receivable
considered to be impaired. Impairment is considered to exist when it is probable that all amounts due under the terms of the note will not be collected. Valuation allowances are provided for estimated losses on notes receivable to the extent that
the investment in the note exceeds managements estimate of fair value of the collateral securing such note.

Fair Value of Financial
Instruments

The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of TCIs notes receivable, marketable equity securities and notes
payable. For performing notes receivable, the fair value was estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar loans. For non-performing notes receivable, the estimated fair value of TCIs interest in the
collateral property was used. For marketable equity securities, fair value was based on the year-end closing market price of each security. For notes payable, the fair value was estimated using current rates for mortgages with similar terms and
maturities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of cash have historically been and will continue to be;



| |  |  | Property operations;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | Proceeds from land and income-producing property sales;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The collection of mortgage notes receivable;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Receivables from affiliated companies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | Refinancing of existing mortgage notes payable; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Additional borrowing, including mortgage notes payable, lines of credit.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our principal liquidity needs over the next twelve months include;



| |  |  | Funding of normal recurring expenses and obligations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Funding current development costs not covered by construction loans;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Meeting debt service requirements including loan maturities;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Funding capital expenditures; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | Funding acquisition costs for land and income-producing properties not covered by acquisition financing.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs. We generally fund our development projects with construction loans.

Management anticipates that our available cash from property operations may not be sufficient to meet all of our cash requirements. Management intends to selectively
sell land and income producing assets, refinance or extend real estate debt and seek additional borrowing secured by real estate to meet its liquidity requirements. Historically, management has been successful at extending a portion of the
Companys current maturity obligations. Management also anticipates funding ongoing real estate development projects and the acquisition of new real estate from cash generated by sales of land and income-producing properties, debt refinancings
or extensions and additional borrowings.

Cash flow summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the statements of cash flows as presented in ITEM 1 and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flow.

Cash and cash equivalents were $8.0 million as of March 31, 2008, as compared to $4.0 million as of March 31, 2007. Our cash provided by investing
activities of $87.0 million was not sufficient to cover our use of cash from operations of ($23.7 million) and our use of cash from financing activities of ($66.6 million) which caused a decrease in our overall cash of ($3.2 million.) for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.

We used $23.7 million in cash for our operating activities for the first three months ended March 31, 2008. Our
primary source of cash from operating activities is rental income from our properties. Our primary use of cash for operations is from daily operating costs, general and administrative, interest expense and land holding costs. In addition, we paid
$9.3 million in sales incentive fees to our advisor.

Our cash provided by investing activities was $87.0 million. The majority was from the proceeds
received from the sale of income producing properties of $135.6 million. This was from four sales transactions; the sale of the Midland/Odessa properties which involved 14 apartment complexes providing $89.9 million, the sale of the Lexington Office
building providing $5.4 million, the sale of the Fairway View apartments providing $10.3 million and the sale of three hotels; City Suites, Majestic and Willows, providing $30.0 million. We invested $12.0 million to acquire approximately 32.6 acres
of land in and around Dallas, Texas. We invested $32.1 million in our various development projects.

Our net cash used in financing activities of $66.6
million was primarily due to paying off the existing mortgages on our income producing properties sold of $109.2 million. In addition, we paid down the principal on our recurring notes of $4.2 million which was offset by the proceeds from notes of
$52.2 million, and we collected $7.3 million from our affiliate.

Management reviews the carrying values of TCIs properties and mortgage notes
receivable at least annually and whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Impairment is considered to exist if, in the case of a property, the future cash flow from the property (undiscounted and without
interest) is less than the carrying amount of the property. For notes receivable, impairment is considered to exist if it is probable that not all amounts due under the terms of the note will be collected. If impairment is found to exist, a
provision for loss is recorded by a charge against earnings. The note receivable review includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing such note. The property review generally includes: (1) selective property inspections; (2) a
review of the propertys current rents compared to market rents; (3) a review of the propertys expenses; (4) a review of maintenance requirements; (5) a review of the propertys cash flow; (6) discussions with the
manager of the property; and (7) a review of properties in the surrounding area.

Related Party Transactions

Historically, TCI, ARI, IORI, and others have each engaged in and may continue to engage in business transactions, including real estate partnerships, with related
parties. The advisors for TCI are also the advisors for ARI, related party transactions are not considered to be arms length and may not be in the best interest or beneficial to our company.

Commitments and Contingencies

TCI has contractual obligations and commitments primarily concerning payment of mortgages.

Results of Operations

The following discussion is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. At
March 31, 2008 and 2007, we had or owned interests in a portfolio (the Total Property Portfolio) of 68 and 89 properties, respectively.

Comparison
of the three months ended March 31, 2008 to the three months ended March 31, 2007

We define Same Property Portfolio for each income-producing
asset type (apartments, commercial, and hotels) as properties with stabilized occupancy owned and operated for the entire three months compared for both periods. A stabilized occupancy is defined as a property whose occupancy has reached 85% or more
since being developed or acquired. The same property portfolio consisted of 39 apartments, and 21 commercial buildings. There were no hotels in the same property portfolio as of March 31, 2008.

We had net income applicable to common shares of $67.1 million which includes gain on land sales of $1.3 million, net income from discontinued operations of $55.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of ($6.7 million) which includes gain on land sales of $1.1 million and income from discontinued operations of $1.0 million for the same
period ended 2007.

Rents and other property revenues were $32.1 million for the three months ended 2008 as compared to $30.1 million for the same
period in 2007 an increase of $2.0 million. Our developed properties that are in the lease up phase attributed $2.5 million of the increase and the land portfolio attributed another $400,000 increase. This was offset by a decrease in revenues from
our same apartment and commercial portfolio of $900,000. The revenues from the same apartment portfolio for the three months ended 2008 was $15.3 million as compared to $14.9 million for the same period in 2007. In the same commercial portfolio, the
revenues were $8.0 million for the three months ended 2008 as compared to $9.3 million for the same period ended 2007. There are no revenues from the hotel portfolio as the entire portfolio was sold this quarter and the income and expenses for that
portfolio are included in discontinued operations.

Property operating expenses were $21.6 million for the three months ended March 2008 as compared to
$17.2 million for the same period ended 2007, an increase of $4.4 million. The costs of leasing up our developed properties accounted for $3.0 million of the increased cost. The same property portfolio increased by $800,000 due to increase
maintenance costs of $600,000 from our apartment portfolio and $200,000 from our commercial portfolio. Our land portfolio and other costs increase by $600,000 primarily due to increases in property taxes.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $5.9 million for the three months ended March 2008 as compared to $4.4 million for the same period ended 2007, an increase of
$1.5 million. The depreciation on our portfolio of apartments that are being lease up which are not fully stabilized accounted for $1.3 million of the increase. The remainder was due to the depreciation associated with various improvements within
our apartment and commercial portfolios.

General and administrative expenses were $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared
to 2.9 million for the same period ended 2007, a decrease of $500,000. This is relatively comparable to prior periods.

Our mortgage loan interest
expense was $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $14.8 million for the same period ended 2007, an increase of $2.6 million. This is due to our continued use of debt financing to purchase new assets and
refinancing of existing debt.

Bad debt and allowance expense was $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This is due to setting up an
allowance account for various investments with in our portfolio.

Gain on land sales were $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as
compared to $1.1 million of the same period ended 2007. In 2008, we sold 14 acres of land located in McKinney, Texas for a sales price of $2.9 million or $207,000 per acre.

Net income from discontinued operations was $55.3 million for the three months ended 2008 as compared to $1.0 million for the same period ended in 2007. Discontinued operations relates to 19 apartments of which 15
were sold in 2008, 3 commercial buildings, 4 hotels sold in 2008. Discontinued operations for 2007 relates to 22 apartments, 3 commercial buildings and 4 hotels.

Tax Matters

Financial statement income varies from taxable income principally due to the accounting for income and losses of investees, gains and losses from asset sales, depreciation on owned properties, amortization of discounts on notes receivable
and payable and the difference in the allowance for estimated losses. TCI had a loss, after the use of net operating loss carryforwards, for federal income tax purposes in the first three months of 2008 and a loss, after the use of net operating
loss carryforwards, in the first three months of 2007; therefore, it recorded no provision for income taxes.

At March 31, 2008, TCI had a net
deferred tax asset of $21.7 million due to tax deductions available to it in future years. However, as management cannot determine that it is more likely than not that TCI will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, a 100% valuation
allowance has been established.

Inflation

The
effects of inflation on TCIs operations are not quantifiable. Revenues from property operations tend to fluctuate proportionately with inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs. Fluctuations in the rate of inflation also affect
sales values of properties and the ultimate gain to be realized from property sales. To the extent that inflation affects interest rates, TCIs earnings from short-term investments, the cost of new financings and the cost of variable interest
rate debt will be affected.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, TCI may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other potential costs, relating to hazardous or toxic substances
(including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property) where property-level managers have arranged for the removal, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain environmental laws impose liability for
release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery for personal injury associated with such materials.

Management
is not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on TCIs business, assets or results of operations.
